:Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories has a post on their blog entitled “Cashews: The nut you can’t buy in a shell,” which is an interesting read on, of course, the reasons we cannot buy the yummy little buggers with their jackets still on. Check it out… very good for adding to your store of useless knowledge which will not help you at all unless the world currencies are all exchanged for NTN trivia points.

It got me thinking. About cashews. I really don’t think I’ve ever done that before. It IS the only nut not in a shell. As EMSL reports, this is because the shell is toxic. So, my question is… who was the first person to eat the inside of a cashew if the outside will kill you? Watch your friend fall down dead and think “but, maybe if I just ate the INSIDE…” That takes guts man.
